But of course the DNC will choose a moderate instead.

    There’s no need to do a second term. Just fill the gap now to win and push for more progressive policies. This set up the next generation to take over in '28.

      Yeah, but the incumbant historically has had an advantage. If Bernie only served one term, the next Democratic nominee after him wouldn’t have the advantage that someone willing and capable of serving two terms would. And that would risk a Republican win in 2028.
